JHS Pedals Ruby Red Overdrive

Legendary musician, writer and producer Butch Walker needed a pedal. But not just any pedal: His core sound involves a multi-tiered drive pedal that provides a boatload of tone but with all the articulation of a real amp. 

You see, Mr. Walker likes an expressive pedal that responds incredibly well to dynamics as well as guitar controls. He needs a pedal that sounds and feels like an amp, that he can vary in sound without having to bend over and fiddle with any knobs mid-performance.

Enter: The Ruby Red. This pedal is built on JHSs Superbolt platform, a pedal that Mr. Walker used before the Ruby Reds development. For those unfamiliar with the Superbolt, its meant to emulate the sound and feel of an old-school low-wattage Supro amp. For those unfamiliar with those amps, theyre vintage-style class-A tube amps that break up very easily and are prized for their touch sensitivty and raw overdriven sounds. The Superbolt is no different, offering the most touch sensitivity in the JHS line. The toggle switch engages a second mode that increases the gain and the sag of old glowing tubes.

The second side is an all-new two-stage gain boost. Its a clean, pulverizing boost whose functions are two-fold. By using the toggle switch on the right side of the pedal, you can change what order the two effects come in. On one side, the Superbolt feeds the Boost and pummels the front end of your preamp for even gnarlier tones straight from your amplifier. In the other setting, you can blast the front end of the Superbolt itself, and it reacts the same way a Supro amp would, with punishing overdriven sounds. Feed this into your amp for some seriously saturated guitar work.

Like all JHS pedals, the Ruby Red is equipped with true bypass switching for both circuits, as well as quality components and superb build quality. Each one is made right here in the States.
